Articulation Agreements
Over the last several years, area career centers and community colleges established articulation agreements to assist students in continuing their education. Articulation agreements provide a systematic, seamless student transition process from secondary to postsecondary (community colleges) education that maximizes the use of resources and minimizes content duplication.
Traditionally, the emphasis with articulation agreements has been to provide students with as many hours of college credit as possible, not accounting for what students know and are able to do. The articulation agreements for the same program have varied from one postsecondary institution to another. For instance, the number of hours of credit given, the criteria for awarding the credit, and when students receive the credit for a particular program may be 15 hours at one community college and 30 hours at another. Therefore, it was suggested by both secondary and postsecondary career-technical education administrators to establish criteria for statewide articulation agreements that demonstrate what students know and are able to do.
Advisory committees were established with secondary and postsecondary instructors, community college admissions representatives, community college presidents, and the Department of Higher Education to determine the criteria for statewide articulation. It was determined to start with the career-technical education programs that have a national certification/credential which includes program competencies and end-of-course/program assessments.
The State Board of Education has approved the following articulation agreements:

Comfort is key with Logitech keyboards
Tap happiness
2 million keystrokes. Every day.
That's how much the average person types every year, according to a study by Harvard. (Dennerlein 2006)
If you sit at your computer hour after hour, day after day, all those key presses can really add up. Fortunately, you can do something about it. Logitech keyboards have a variety of comfort features to help keep your body happy.
Comfort Wave Design: Curve + Wave + Palm Rest
Your fingers vary in length—but most keyboards treat them all the same. Our Wave keyboards have a gradual wave-shaped contour to support the varying lengths of your fingers and keep the pressure off your fingertips.
To keep you from having to twist into an unnatural position when you type, we threw in a curve. Gently curving rows of keys support the natural resting position of your hands without splitting the keyboard. After all, you shouldn't have to relearn how to type to be comfortable.
A cushioned, contoured palm rest helps position your hands comfortably on the keyboard. Plus, it gives you a cushy place to rest your palms when you're not typing.

Perfectly PerfectStroke
Logitech PerfectStroke™ key system combines the benefits of a laptop keyboard with those of a stand-alone keyboard to give you a perfectly pleasant typing experience.
Clickety-clack. For those of you old enough to remember, it isn't the sound of that old electric typewriter that you miss so much, it's the way the keys felt under your fingers.

White House Throws Support Behind Teddy Roosevelt in Nationals' Presidents Race
Press Secretary Jay Carney says the Nationals should let Roosevelt win the Presidents Race for once.
The list of supporters clamoring for Teddy Roosevelt to win a presidents race at a Washington Nationals baseball game is growing longer and more powerful each day.
Thursday, the White House threw its support behind the mascot version of the nation's 26th president, who is an astounding 0-518 in Nationals' Presidents Race contests, which are held during the middle of the fourth inning at every home game. Earlier this week, Sen. John McCain told ESPN he was "outraged" that Teddy had never won a race.
[The New Money Ball? It's Major League Sleep]
"[Roosevelt] brought America into the 20th century and transitioned us from a relatively minor nation into a great power," McCain said. "I'm paying a lot of attention to the fact that one of the truly great presidents in history has never won a race. I'm outraged. That's why I'm calling for congressional hearings to right this horrible wrong."
Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney threw his support behind the founder of the Bull Moose Party too, telling reporters he wants Teddy to win a race as well.
"This is an outrage. I agree with Senator McCain, I'm comfortable saying my boss agrees with Senator McCain," he said.
[Top 10 Cities With the Most Sports Championships]
In the four years since Nationals Park opened, Teddy has been a picture of ineptitude: He's been disqualified for using vehicles, tripped, punched, and run the wrong way. But he's mostly just run slower than his counterparts, Abe Lincoln, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, who have all won plenty of races.
With the Nationals on the verge of locking down their first-ever playoff appearance, the drumbeat of people hoping Teddy finally gets in the win column is growing ever louder. It started last year with the Nats' prized free agent signing of Jayson Werth, who has said that Teddy's streak "needs to be addressed" and has physically interfered with races in an attempt to Let Teddy Win.

VCAN V136 BLINC Bluetooth Helmet Reviews:
Comment: This helmet was $99 helmet was when I bought it making it a fantastic deal I would recommend. Is this the best put together helmet on the planet? No, is this the best bang for the buck helmet, id have to say YES. The Bluetooth GPS and Music are hearable up to at least 80+ the phone maybe about 50 but I assume that's because calls are just not as high quality. Anyway it seems to scratch easy and the foam particles on the front inside have started to come off but it doesn't matter im trying to get it all to fall off on purpose actually. I wanted to connect with friends with the intercom and it seems like you had to buy 2 identical helmets at least with Blinc there was a couple different manufacturers you could hook up with. For the price highly recommended.
Lake Balboa, CA
Comment: I have a Honda Ruckus that i use to go to work and this helmet is perfect for my 5 1/2 mile surface street commute. I've already taken a couple of calls which sounded fine since I don't travel fast. Playing music sounds even better. I wish it had some bass to it but it's better than nothing. I also bought a smoked shield which helped out a lot on really sunny days. The original clear shield was actually not very clean but I didn't plan on using it anyways. I went by the size chart and bought the large and it fits great. I read from other reviews that it ran small but I think it fits just fine.
Pasadena, CA
Comment: Did like the ablity to listen to music without installing a radio the phone works best when stopped. Maybe the emf from the motorcycle, its always best to be stopped to make or recieve a call anyway, so that did ot bother me much. Good tight fit felt real secure and comfortable. I would recommend this to anyone seeking music, phone calls when stopped.
Comment: I purchased two, VCAN V 136 BLINC helmets. I decided to go a size larger than the size chart indicated. One fit fine, the other was too small for my wife. Returned it for a larger size. No hassle. Received refund on the return. Just had to pay shipping.Then, I noticed that both my helmet and hers had hairline cracks in the face shield. I thought there might be a protective film on them, but it doesn't appear to be the case. Unfortunately, Jafrum does not sell the face shields separately. Therefore, this would mean returning both helmets, paying another $15 each for shipping, plus the hassle of not having the helmets, and no guarantee that a replacement won't have the same problem. I opted to keep the helmets. I don't really notice the cracks too much when I have it on. It's odd and I'm open for suggestions on this.The Bluetooth is okay when at slow speeds or stopped. The phone connection is fairly clear. The helmet-to-helmet intercom is pretty worthless while you're riding at any significant speed. Too much wind noise and interference prevent the passenger from being able to hear and understand the driver. However, the driver can usually hear the passenger. Tried adjusting the mic location, but was unable to.Music via Bluetooth was pretty good. The video said it was a mono signal...although it seems stereo to me. Again, it's better at slower speeds.The helmet over all is solid, has a good fit, and looks good too. Tip: Add some decals, to give it a little flair.Overall, it is one of the best full face helmets I've owned. Just disappointed with the Bluetooth. But, at this price point, it's pretty good.
Comment: Nice helmet good fit Bluetooth hooked to my cell but would not recognize my gps I returned it because of not connecting to gps jafrum service has always been excellent refund was quick
Comment: After reading the reviews on several sites, including this one, I wasn't expecting much more than a basic helmet with nominal Bluetooth capacity and poor sound quality. Maybe due to this my expectations were lower than they should have been, but I can't find anything wrong with this helmet that would make me give it any form of a negative review.
Is this a top of the line, Snell certified device? No, but then again it cost about a third the price for a helmet in that family, so why would I expect that level of quality? Are the speaker Bose or even Beats quality? No, but then again, look at the price before you set your expectations that high.
For what I paid I got a nice DOT certified light weight full face helmet with Bluetooth built in. It sync'd up with my S4 in about 3 seconds and parses all audio feeds, music, GPS, phone, etc, with no problems. I spoke with my wife over the Bluetooth connection to my phone while riding 30 mph and she said it sounded just like the hands-free set-up in my truck. As for the sound quality, yes it is hollow, some what subdue and tinny, but then again I wouldn't what concert quality, high volume sound that could overwhelm the traffic noises around me or act a source of distraction. After all, this is still a device meant for use while riding, do you REALLY need add another potential source danger? The music I listened too on my ride what okay as a source of light entertainment.
If I was going to give any negatives, then here are two, one of which applies to nearly every full face helmet I've worn. First, air flow through the helmet if not the greatest. This wouldn't be a problem except I wear glasses and they fog-up really quickly when I stop riding if I don't crack open the visor. When I'm moving I don't experience this problem, it only happens when I sit still. This is a common problem with ever full face helmet I've worn. The other is I must have a wickedly large head because I followed the guide for measuring a proper fit and read often where this line runs large so order one size smaller. I actually ordered the size the chart said would fit me. The first helmet I received wouldn't even slide over the top of my head! I returned that one and order the next size up. It is still quite tight, but I expect it to loosen a bit with wearing. BTW, the folks at Jafrum were great to deal with for the exchange.
So that's it. To wrap it up, if you order this model, or one similar from Vcan or any other low price supplier, expect to get a nice, inexpensive, functional helmet with decent features. If you want a top of the line product, then order one but expect to pay for it.

Comment: I bought two of these helmets as they were on sale ! Like, whoa! To be honest,$ for a DOT approved helmet makes up for all of its flaws.
PROS: Solid. I bought a small, and it fits me VERY snug. Messes up my hair, it's so tight. That's how a helmet is supposed to fit. The internal padding is comfortable, and I don't even notice it. I feel like I won't split my face open if I land on it, so long as I'm wearing this helmet.
CONS: The windshield doesn't fit flush with the gasket around the face opening, so wind flies in at all angles. I ride in northern California, at all hours of the day, and let me tell you; it sucks. I have had my eyes dryer than beef jerky, watering, red, and a cold headache just because of the cold air being blasted on my face. It's not so bad at speeds below 50mph, but anything above and brrrr! Temperatures here have been in the upper 30's to lower 50's. Another part that REALLY sucks is the weird crap they have coating the internal plastic. I don't know what it is, but it rubs off and flakes everywhere. I didn't realize this until one day, while blasting down the highway at 75 mph, a butt load of it flew up into my already dry and watering eyes. I nearly had to pull over.
PROS: Easy to connect. Battery lasts a while. I can hear my music at nearly all speeds. Single button makes it easy to operate. The speakers and microphone work properly, and are discreet inside the helmet.
CONS: Phone calls are useless at speeds above 35mph. It's too windy. The microphone crackles when I speak too loud, which is most of the time because, let's face it, motorcycles are loud. Or at least they're meant to be. Music is good, but the speakers are mono, not stereo, so I can't jam my binaural beats. Bummer. The thing only has one button, too, so you can't skip songs or do much of anything but turn on or turn off. I can accept incoming calls, but I can't make outgoing calls. This isn't so bad when I consider that I'm on a motorcycle, and I really shouldn't be on the phone anyway.
All in all, you get what you pay for. I'm happy with my helmet, but I'm going to modify it to my liking (throw some extra gaskets on the windshield, maybe try to apply some sort of adhesive to the crap that's flaking off. But for $, I'm not complaining.

British Isles & Western Europe Cruise Basics
British Isles & Western Europe
> British Isles & Western Europe Cruise Basics
As a cruise region, the British Isles and Western Europe are basically lumped together more because of geographic proximity than any real similarity -- and most cruise itineraries actually pull from both areas. The bottom line? As a European/U.K. cruise experience, these voyages are typically crafted to offer a fantastic blend of cosmopolitan appeal (Paris, London, Amsterdam, Dublin, Edinburgh, Brugge) and the gorgeous outdoors for nature buffs (in particular, Scotland's Orkney and Shetland Islands, not to mention its northern coastal areas) and, finally, charming villages (Honfleur and Guernsey's St. Peter Port come to mind).
And seeing the British Isles and Western Europe via cruise ship is a convenient, hassle-free travel option -- much easier on both the feet and the pocket than schlepping around by air, rail or coach.
Itinerary possibilities offer a range of choices. The most common cruises generally last between 10 and 14 nights. But you can also find three- to five-night "short break" options, which are terrific for a bit of rest and relaxation after visiting friends or relatives in Britain. You can explore the lovely Scottish Islands or zap over to France for world-class cheese and wine; stroll the flower-strewn cliff-top paths of the Channel Islands, or live it up like a European MP on a visit to Belgium.
Choosing A Cruise Line
The region attracts, to be sure, American-friendly big ship operators like Princess, Royal Caribbean, NCL, Celebrity and Holland America (though you won't find their super-sized ships trawling these waters) but it also draws small- and mid-size cruise lines, like Crystal, Silversea, Seabourn, Oceania and Regent Seven Seas.
But the area offers a chance to experience a more exotic onboard milieu. For classic British cruising, try Cunard Line, P&O Cruises or Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines. You can feel continental with Italian-style Costa Cruises or MSC, or act like a Scot with Hebridean Island Cruises.
All offer round Britain and near-Europe cruises this year, many sailing from British ports like Southampton, Dover, Leith (for Edinburgh) and Greenock (for Glasgow) -- so you can combine your cruise with a Scottish short break or a longer stay exploring London and the south east of England.
Broadly speaking, the British Isles region consists of England, Scotland, the Republic of Ireland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Beyond its well-known cities (from Waterford to Belfast and from Edinburgh to London), one major appeal is villages in areas of outstanding scenic beauty. And don't forget that the smaller isles -- the Orkney and Shetlands, to the north, and the Channel Islands, to the east -- are also occasional cruise stops.
Western Europe ports of call, on the other hand, include various urban spots in France, Amsterdam and Brussels. Urban sophisticates will undoubtedly head from the port of Le Havre for Paris (but repeat visitors may stay put, as Le Havre is convenient to many of Normandy's greatest sights). Brussels is a logical destination when ships dock at Zeebrugge, on Belgium's coast, but Brugge itself is fascinating and fabulous -- and only a half an hour away. Amsterdam is a destination in its own right.
Narrowing It Down: What Are The Options?
Looking for a short cruise? P&O offers a handful of three-night trips from Southampton to Brugge (and St. Peter Port). Fred. Olsen offers the occasional short trip; its Black Prince sails a four-night mini-cruise from England's Southampton, calling at Caen and Antwerp.
There's more variety, though, with the traditional longer options -- the 10- to 12-night itineraries.
Equally luxurious -- and definitely more exclusive -- are cruises around the Scottish Islands, available from Hebridean Princess Cruises aboard the country-house-style, 49-passenger Hebridean Princess.
River cruise operators
famously ply the waters of Western Europe; check into spring tulip-themed trips through the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and beyond. These ships offer a pared down version (with passenger counts in the 100-plus range) of a big ship experience (onboard entertainment to some extent, deluxe dining and comfortable cabins).
Even more exotic are canal barging cruises and while
is perhaps the best known region for these slower-paced trips, you can also find
canal trips in England and Scotland
-- and beyond.
And for the first time in ages, budget-seekers have a new option! easyCruise, which last year launched its easyCruise2 in Western Europe, trawling the waterways of
the Netherlands and Belgium
, has the industry's lowest rate (and offers a back-to-basics atmosphere onboard) and returns there again this summer, spring and fall.
Travel Plans: Embarkation & Disembarkation
The most common embarkation and disembarkation ports for a big ship in this region are England's Dover or Southampton (Harwich, not as convenient, fills in as a third port). The very, very lucky -- and this only applies to the smallest of cruise ships -- may actually board in London itself. You'll also see Copenhagen and Lisbon as bookends. There are a variety of roundtrips as well as one-way voyages.
Canal and river cruises often tend to depart from smaller cities or, in the case of the former, tiny villages. Typically, though, these embarkation ports are linked with major cities like London and Paris.
Onboard Currency
Depending on the heritage of your cruise line, onboard currency could be the British pound, the U.S. dollar or the euro. For instance, folks cruising on P&O will find onboard charges reflected in British pounds. Those sailing on Holland America, Carnival, Royal Caribbean or NCL will pay bills in U.S. dollars. And European lines, like Costa and MSC, use the euro.

See my post here:
I need to replace two toilets in my condo but my budget is tiny. I've priced Totos locally and two Daltons are more than my mortgage payment (a small mortgage but it 's attached to a smaller space). What are my best options at Lowes? If I buy at Lowes, what parts do I need to upgrade right away and with what? All help is greatly appreciated.

See my post here:
That's a no-brainer.
An Amercian Standard Cadet 3 is what you need.
Check it's OK in the box before you buy it. They can get knocked while shipping to the store
To max it out check this out. Although you can quite easily keep the stock fill valve because that is actually very good, I would recommend a replacement Korky flapper.

My best toilet for a bargain is the Toto Dalton CST733F
It's works better then the Kohler Cimarron and for less money.
Toto Dalton installed by Terry Love, $374.00
Comfort height, elongated bowl
Kohler Cimarron installed by Lowes, $541.00
Comfort height, elongated bowl
And the Dalton will outperform the Cimarron, have better bowl wash, and be free of defects, unlike the Kohler Cimarron.
And just for a joke, when I was at Home Depot today looking for a new tool box, I saw a Cadet 3 bowl in the isle.
No matter which way I turned it, it wobbled back and forth.
I'm still laughing.
It wasn't leaning like the picture below, but it was pretty wobbly.
American Standard Cadet 3 elongated bowl with a built in lean.
For going around corners?

If you go with the Cadet 3 buy it at a plumbing supply. The service and the product will be much better.
What is really funny is when I got my Cimarron put in the plumber bought it, brought it and installed it. To this day, I still don't know where he bought it at, or how much he paid for it. My problem is my floor.

It's a perfectly cromulent rule
So, so much to unpack from the NCAA's Playing Rules Oversight Panel decisions. Dive in:
• Marinate happily first in the good news. The dream of the Surly Hillocks defense remains very much alive! Rejoice, Boise State fans: The proposition that would require either team jerseys or pants to contrast with the color of the field was shot down. In related uniform news, jersey numerals are now mandated to be "one solid color that itself is clearly in distinct contrast with the color of the jersey." And don't cast side-eyes at Oregon just yet: Remember the Under Armour/Wounded Warrior getups South Carolina was forbidden to wear?
• We regret that this is going into place too late to see how it would affect Matt Elam hitting his own teammate. That ejection-for-targeting penalty? Approved. No, it's cool; there's gonna be a review process. If you liked arguing the semantics of "irrefutable video evidence" before, you're gonna LOVE this (emphasis ours, like it needs it): "In an effort to address concerns when one of these plays is erroneously called on the field, the ejection portion of the penalty will be reviewable through video replay. The replay official must have conclusive evidence that a player should not be ejected to overturn the call on the field."
• A legacy burnished. New Lane Kiffin rule, y'all! "To require a player that changes numbers during the game to report this to the referee, who will announce it."
• Wait. What? "To establish three seconds as the minimum amount of time required to be on the game clock in order to spike the ball to stop the clock. If one or two seconds remain on the clock, there is only time for the offense to run one more play." Why even have a clock? Just let the officials decide when the game is over based on when they'd like to have tea, like they do in soccer.

News and Features | Returned: 186 result(s)1 |
While the Tigers shuffled their shortstops, that was the only move they made Sunday. Their expected move to bring back a fourth bench player and pare back their bullpen to seven relievers didn't happen Sunday.
Orioles pitching prospect Kevin Gausman turned in his best outing of the season on Sunday afternoon despite picking up a no-decision in Triple-A Norfolk's 6-3 win over Durham.
Daniel Webb threw a career-high three innings and 59 pitches during Wednesday's 14-inning loss to the Red Sox. For his troubles, the rookie right-hander was told beforehand that he wouldn't pitch Thursday against the Red Sox or in Friday's series opener against the Rangers.
The gaudy numbers first-base prospect Jonathan Singleton has been putting up at Triple-A Oklahoma City this season have certainly been noticed by Astros management. He entered Sunday hitting .343 with seven homers, 23 RBIs and a 1.205 OPS.
Billed as "The National College Baseball Hall of Fame Classic at The K," Missouri and Wichita State will converge at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday to represent the Southeastern Conference and Missouri Valley Conference, respectively.
If you're looking for eggs this Easter holiday -- goose eggs on Minor League scoreboards, that is -- Durham at Norfolk is the game to watch. Baltimore's Kevin Gausman -- the No. 30 overall prospect on MLB.com's Top 100 list -- and Rays No. 5 prospect Enny Romero square off.
Micah Johnson had a breakout season in 2013, playing across three levels and leading the Minor Leagues in stolen bases in his first full season. The second baseman is now showing everyone it was far from a fluke.
There are few prospects in baseball who had a bigger breakout in 2013 than Red Sox second baseman Mookie Betts. Ranked No. 60 on the MLB.com Top 100 Prospects list and No. 6 on the Red Sox's Top 20, Betts is proving that he can swing the bat just as well in the upper levels of the system.
Omaha lost the series opener to the Sounds, with the five hits a season low for a nine-inning game. Johnny Giavotella led the Storm Chasers with two hits, raising his average to .355 (11-for-31). Paulo Orlando added a two-out RBI in the seventh. P.J. Walters recorded a quality start, striking out four while allowing three runs, seven hits and a walk over 7.0 innings.
While Astros fans at the big league level are getting a taste of what the farm system can produce in the form of George Springer currently, there was plenty of action on Saturday to whet the appetites further for those hungry for more.
The Phillies promoted ShawnCamp to the big leagues Friday night, optioning right-hander Jonathan Pettibone to Triple-A Lehigh Valley to make room for him on the 25-man roster.
The Rays on Saturday recalled left-hander C.J. Riefenhauser from Triple-A Durham and optioned right-hander Brad Boxberger to Durham.
The Indians believe that rookie reliever C.C. Lee will soon become a key piece in their bullpen. While balancing making decisions aimed at winning games, Cleveland manager Terry Francona is also keeping Lee's development in mind.

Before the start of the season, you could have confidently predicted that the pitching staff of the Kansas City Royals would be one of the best in the American League.

Travis Jankowski's ability to produce while being assigned somewhat aggressively is a good sign of things to come.
Someday, these kinds of games will be the norm for the Astros, so maybe a night like Tuesday is a good practice run for the sunny days ahead. It felt a lot like old times at Minute Maid Park as the Astros opened the 2014 season by doing virtually everything right in beating the Yankees, 6-2, in front of a big, noisy crowd of 42,117.
There are a number of notable examples of untested options in prominent spots that could go a long way toward determining the direction those teams take this season. Those are the guys we seek to identify here on the All-Breakout Team for 2014.
Yordano Ventura will start the Royals' third game of the season on Thursday afternoon at Detroit. A smiling 22-year-old, Ventura might be excited, but he's certainly not frazzled by the assignment.
Cubs prospects Yasiel Balaguert, Jorge Soler, Rubi Silva and Frank Del Valle all hail from Cuba, and they agreed playing baseball is the easiest part of their transition to life in the United States.

The toothpaste is reasonably priced for its size. With Xylitol (for the sweet taste) and its cool minty taste, the toothpaste seems like an ideal choice for those who want to avoid any sodium fluoride or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in their toothpaste while whitening their teeth. The toothpaste uses two agents for whitening, papain and hydrated silica. Papain does not help much in whitening. Hydrated silica is used as abrasive and basically used to "shrub" off the top layer of the tooth in order to achieve its whitening effect. It's like using sandpaper to clean your teeth. It damages your enamels and makes it very sensitive. That's why most of the 1 star review is about sensitive tooth! In addition, the toothpaste contains potasium sorbate, a preservative known to cause allergic reaction and sodium coco sulfate. Sodium coco sulfate has the exact same chemical structure as SLS. So much for being SLS free! Personal experience - I have sensitive teeth and it seems worse. I will not use this again. Check out my page for more reviews!
2 stars becaue it has Carrageenan and Sodium coco-Sulfate

I like the taste and the fact that it does not have fluoride. But it contains carrageenan and sodium coco-sulfate. Carageenan is a somewhat controversial substance made from seaweed. There is some research out saying that it is upsetting to the GI track. They use it as an inexpensive thickener. Sodium Coco Sulfate is just a highly, highly diluted form of Sodium laurel sulfate (SLS). If you're allergic to one, you're still allergic to the other. This is a trick the industry is using. So saying it is SLS free is a bit deceptive. So be aware. If you found this helpful, go to my homepage and read my other value added reviews. Peace and good health.

I like that it's flouride-free, and it contains ingredients I like such as silica and tea tree oil.
Great taste, plenty of foaming action for me

Leaves my teeth feeling shiny and clean, and I don't know why others have complained about lack of foaming. It seems just fine for me -- I don't need to be foaming like a rabid dog to make me feel like my toothpaste is working. The only disappointment is the tiny tube; it really could be larger.

Ainge just not ready to give up
|Posted by shawn cassidy on February 1, 2013 at 10:15 PM
The odds are stacked up like a wall of bricks being constructed. I like what Danny says these days more than anytime in recent memory. He's praised, and backed up the teams better without Rondo bull. But he's not letting two season ending injuries crush his hopes this season. The Celtics have three weeks to see what they have, and to see what they want to do. I want big men, and I have one player on my list that I would like to be shipped out. Bass is they guy.
I don't ask for trades often, and I post about the ESPN trade machine. But I feel like the Celtics have a guy in Jeff Green who brings what Bass brings, but in better ways. The Celtics are undersized as it is, and Bass isn't reliable.Plus he's become a cry baby, and he's pointing the finger at the wrong person.
"We're not ready to cave in yet, are you kidding? It's going to take more than that," Ainge said just before Friday's game with the Magic at TD Garden. "We'll just have to win in a different way. Jared's our best rebounder. We don't have to
play that way. Last two games, we played without Jared last game and I think our team looked great. The second half and most of the Miami game, we played smaller ball and were able to win. Against New York, they're a small-ball team, we played small against them, had a win against them in New York. "I think we're going to have to win in a different way without Jared and without Rajon. We'll see what we have."

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Proud to be Canadian
Your Rating
Winnipegger Maryka Chabluk presents this musical children's show about immigration with the object of making children proud to be Canadian.
And that's the problem.
While there was active involvement and audience participation (a dozen kids on stage, in costume), more care needs to be given to properly researching content to avoid generalizations and misinformation, of which there was plenty (Africa is not a country).
And why choose Shakira's song Waka Waka to represent South Africa when actual South Africans like Ladysmith Black Mambazo have music especially for kids?
What needs to be presented is a strong personal narrative with characters and situations that children will identify as authentic. Sacrificing good, meaningful storytelling and trusting that children will come to their own conclusions in favour of merely "doing something good" for children is never a good idea.
— Wendy King
From the Fringe program:
An exciting interactive program with audience participation! Costumes, props and music from many lands complement the story of Canadian immigration. The cultures of Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, as well as Canada's first nations, are showcased to portray the diverse heritage of Canadians living in harmony and peace. Children are invited to dress up, march, dance and sing to the music; blending together cooperative values, learning and laughter, as an expression of Canadian Pride.

Miami Dolphins select speedy WR Edmond Gates in the 4th roundSaturday, April 30th, 2011
The Miami Dolphins accomplished their goal of improving team speed when they drafted receiver Edmond Gates from Abilene Christian in the fourth round of the NFL Draft (111 overall).
Gates ran the fastest 40-yard dash time among all receivers at February's NFL Combine, clocking a 4.37. He said the fastest 40 he ever ran was a 4.21 on a track surface.
"This guy takes the lid off a zone," NFL Network's Mike Mayock said. "He's a legitimate 4.35 kid."
Gates, who stands 5-foot-11 and 197 pounds, could be the vertical threat and speedy punt returner the Dolphins desperately need. The Dolphins were 27th in the NFL with just four passing plays over 40 yards in 2010, and punt returner Davone Bess, while effective, has never returned one for a touchdown.
Gates never returned a punt at Abilene Christian and was a primary kickoff returner in 2007, but the Dolphins worked him out as a punt returner during a pre-draft workout, in addition to receiver.
"In the NFL, it doesn't matter, I'm going feel like I'm the fastest guy on the field," Gates said.

By REID SPENCER
NASCAR Wire Service
4:21 PM CDT, May 6, 2012
TALLADEGA, Alabama
Executing perfectly a move he had saved for the right occasion, Brad Keselowski pulled away from Kyle Busch on the final lap to win Sunday's Aaron's 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at at Talladega Superspeedway in a green-white-checkered-flag finish.
Busch had pushed Keselowski to the lead on Lap 193 of 194 in a race that went six laps past its scheduled distance at the 2.66-mile track. The two cars ran bumper-to-bumper until Turn 3 of the final lap, when Keselowski entered the corner high and dived to the bottom of the track, separating his No. 2 Dodge from Busch's No. 18 Toyota.
After he ditched his dancing partner, Keselowski pulled away to win by .304 seconds, a relative whipping at a track where wins typically are measured in thousandths of seconds.
The victory was Keselowski's second of the season, second at the 2.66-mile track, the sixth of his Sprint Cup career and the first for Dodge at Talladega since Dave Marcis took the checkered flag 36 years ago.
Matt Kenseth, who led the field to the final restart on Lap 193, came home third, followed by Kasey Kahne and series leader Greg Biffle. Clint Bowyer, David Ragan, Trevor Bayne, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Burton completed the top 10.
Conventional wisdom says that the driver running second on the final lap has a much better chance to win a restrictor-plate race than the driver who is leading, but Keselowski had thought long and hard about what he would do.
"I had this whole plan if I ever got in that situation where I was leading," Keselowski said. "I thought about it and thought about it -- dreamed about what to do -- and sure enough, going into (Turn) 3, it was just me and Busch. And I knew the move I wanted to pull.
". . . I went into Turn 3 high and pulled down off of Kyle and broke the tandem up. That allowed me to drive untouched to the checkered flag. It wasn't easy to convince myself to do that, but it was the right move. I'm glad it worked."
After the race, Busch wasn't quite sure what had happened.
"I got to Turn 3, and I got disconnected from him, got unhooked," Busch said. "I hated that happened -- thought we had a shot to win that thing. I'm not sure he (Kesleowski) did anything.
"If he did, he's pretty smart, but I think our stuff just came unplugged."
Keselowski's victory ended a wild final quarter of the race, which produced four cautions in the final 45 laps.
As the field began a round of green-flag pit stops on Lap 143, a massive chain-reaction wreck in Turn 3 eliminated a handful of contending cars, including the No. 24 Chevrolet of pole-sitter Jeff Gordon.
Contact between the Ford of Aric Almirola and the Chevrolet of Dave Blaney triggered the crash, which also collected Martin Truex's Toyota, Carl Edwards' Ford and Juan Pablo Montoya's Chevrolet, among others.
"It was like a wreck at a stoplight," Edwards said. "Everybody started checking up and hitting each other."
With the herd thinned considerably, Paul Menard led the field to a restart on Lap 151. Hamlin, who had regained a lost lap as the highest scored lapped car when NASCAR called the caution on Lap 143, surged to the front, where he swapped the top spot with Brad Keselowski.
Kenseth restarted at the back of the field under a penalty for pitting too soon under the Lap 143 caution, but he quickly worked his way forward, wresting the lead from Denny Hamlin on Lap 167, with the Dodges of Keselowski and AJ Allmendinger lined up behind him.
Five laps later, Hamlin found an opening between Kenseth and Keselowski and took second, but a Lap 175 wreck that started when Casey Mears cut a tire, scrambled the field for a restart with nine laps left in regulation.
As the field crossed the finish line on Lap 181, contact from Keselowski's Dodge sent the Chevrolet of Kurt Busch spinning into the inside wall at the entry to Turn 1. Kenseth led the field to a restart on Lap 185.
The green flag lasted only moments. As soon as the cars crossed the start/finish line, Hamlin ducked to the inside, and Allmendinger tried to block the middle lane. The nose of Hamlin's car, however, was already inside Allmendinger's bumper, and contact between the two cars started a wreck that ruined the chances of Hamlin, Menard, Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart and Michael Waltrip.
Note: Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman both exited the race with oil pump problems and finished 35th and 36th, respectively.
Local Note: Emporia native Clint Bowyer rebounded from damage he received in a late accident to finish sixth.
